goriness

/ˈɡɔɹinəs/ noun

The state of being gory.

Word Origin Goriness comes from gory, from Old English gor 'blood, filth.' Gore originally meant clotted blood or filth, and it's still used for the bloody mess in horror. The suffix -y makes it an adjective, and -ness turns it into a noun meaning the state of being bloody. It's a visceral word with no Latin elegance — pure Old English grit.
